I saw that one coming hence i quite clearly stated 'bossing' the midfield. Brett was a handy player at the end of his career but not in the same galaxy as Mile....

I'll be proud as punch to have a fellow Aussie bossing the Villa midfield.... Please please get this one done.... Jordan Lyden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted August 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 3, 2016 I don't think there's a single link from any journo linking Jedinak with Villa, pretty sure it's just wishful thinking from a lot of Villa fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 5 minutes ago, AJ said: Jordan Lyden? funny you should mention him. Jedinak's got a fan there methinks. Could train him up good Quote Australian youngster Lyden will be compared to many players, but as a defensive midfielder, the natural comparison to make is to his compatriot Mile Jedinak. The Crystal Palace ace has enjoyed a successful Premier League career since the Eagles' promotion to the top flight in 2013, and Lyden explained why he thinks he is similar to the 31-year-old destroyer. "I am a bit similar in a way to Mile in that I like to get stuck in with a tackle and I can play at the same time. That’s what Villa seem to like about me ... I can play in the right areas and if I need to mix it up a bit I can. But I like to play football. That's really my game, the technical side of things," he added. If Lyden can become the next Jedinak, Villa will have a solid, dependable midfielder on their hands. It will take plenty of development and possibly some first team football over the coming years, but given Sherwood's ability to develop young players, Lyden may be at the perfect club to eventually emulate Jedinak.

useless Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Pritchard's getting mentioned in conversation with Alan Nixon on twitter, but I thought he was more of a creative player than an enforcer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunnski Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Pritchard would fit into the 'better get a move on' quote from Nixon as Brighton had a bid accepted for him yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto, I guess with Clark going that we will need to bring someone in now as RDM was planning on him staying, so will now be one light in CD department. Unless.....God forbid, we end up keeping the gruesome twosome of Richards and Lescott. Jeez, I started this post quite optimisticly, then midway through pessimism took control.

I reckon if Norwich hadn't made a move for McCormack we'd have just waited. I'd imagine it's a case of holding out for better options until the club know for definite they'll miss out on someone and then they have to make a call whether to bid or not.

useless Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 A midfield enforcer doesn't have to mean a defensive player. Delph was often described as an enforcer and Gueye was initially meant to be his replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted August 3, 2016 Moderator Share Posted August 3, 2016 So, assuming McCormack signs what do we still need? For me in an ideal world its the following. New starting CB New RB Creative midfielder On top of that if we can shift any of the dead weights and replace that would be ideal. I still think we might look to bring in another striker as well but that's just a hunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted August 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 3, 2016 New CB could be McNair New RB ... Not sure? Creative midfielder could be Ravel and I think Bamford as the other striker? Fingers crossed, that would be amazing if all of those came in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
